And, it’s my turn!

Ok. The time has come for me to go out and kick it! It was SO great to watch our team today, though I REALLY wanted to be on it! Wish me luck!!

MY workouts tomorrow:

Event 1 – The Run
The first event is a 7.1km run through varied terrain including both
asphalt and extremely steep hills off trail. The athlete's time will be
electronically determined by a chip given to the athlete prior to the
race.

Event 2 – The Deadlift
Heaviest successful deadlift completed lifting one rep every 30sec.
Each competitor will begin at the first barbell, which weighs 315lbs
for men and 185lbs for women. Dropping is permitted. The athlete then
has 10sec plus any portion of the 20sec remaining to set up at the next
bar, which is 10lbs heavier than the previous (so the second bar weighs
325/195). Athletes continue moving to progressively heavier bars until
they fail. The athletes are ranked according to the heaviest successful
weight lifted before failing.

Event 3 – The Sandbag Hill Sprint
The men will pick up two 35lb sandbags (loosely packed) and sprint
approximately 170m uphill. The sandbags begin flat on the ground. The
sprint is steep in places, with approximately 100' in elevation gain
over the 170m course. Women carry one 35lb sandbag for the same course.

Event 5 – The Couplet
The two exercises are wallball and barbell snatch. The specifics of the
workout will be disclosed on Saturday afternoon. We want the athletes
to have the privilege of being the first to perform this exact workout.

Steve! Check out THIS kettlebell! Looks like about 3 pood, don't you think? Maybe I AM ready for these Games!

Not all athletes will stay in the competition. After the second
event, the bottom 10 men and the bottom 10 women (those with the most
points) will be eliminated from the competition. After the 4th
event, the remaining bottom 10 men and 10 women will be eliminated
from the competition. At this point, there will be approximately 55
athletes competing in the final event (for each men and women).

The day will conclude after the 5th event. At that point, the 16
men and 16 women with the lowest total points will be invited to
compete on Sunday.
